Yo-Kai Watch Guide › Game Basics

Evolving and Fusing Yo-kai

The most typical way to power up your Yo-kai friends is to put them in battle and raise their levels. But that’s not the only way to improve your Yo-kai. You can also boost their powers by evolving or fusing them. Both processes change how a Yo-kai looks, producing a more formidable presence than ever!

Some Yo-kai can be obtained only via evolution or fusion. They’re amongst the rarest and most powerful ones out there!

How Yo-kai Evolve

Yo-kai that can evolve will do so immediately once they reach the required level. You can also cancel the evolution if you like, leaving the Yo-kai as is.

If a Yo-kai can evolve, it automatically makes the transformation once it hits a certain level. The exact level number required for evolution depends on the type of Yo-kai it is. Some Yo-kai evolve early on, while others need to be leveled up fairly high before they do.

How Yo-kai Fusion Works

Once you reach Chapter 5 of the game story, you’ll be able to combine Yo-kai and items in a process called “fusion.” You can fuse Yo-kai with each other or with certain items to create a brand-new, powered-up being. This new Yo-kai immediately becomes your friend. (For more details on the fusion process, check out the “Evolution and Fusion” section.)

Visit Mr. Zen at the Shoten Temple in Blossom Heights to try fusing new Yo-kai.

Item Fusion

Two items can also be combined with each other to create a new item. Mr. Zen at the Shoten Temple can handle Yo-kai and item fusion for you.
